Inspecting the Belts

Mower Belt Replacement

Service Interval: Every 25 hours - Check the belts for

wear/cracks.

Check the belts for cracks, frayed edges, burn marks, or

any other damage. Replace damaged belts.

Note: Squealing when the belt is rotating, blades

slipping when cutting grass, frayed belt

edges, burn marks, and cracks are signs of

a worn mower belt. Replace the mower belt if

any of these conditions are evident.

1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage

the PTO switch.

2. Move the motion control levers outward to the park

position, stop the engine, remove the key, and

wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the

operating position.

3. Set the height-of-cut at the lowest cutting position

(1-1/2” (38mm)).

4. Remove the belt covers over the outside spindles.
